CONFERENCE ORGANIZATION

We are pleased to announce that CASES 2002 is co-located in Grenoble with EMSOFT, the International Workshop on Embedded Software. The themes of CASES and EMSOFT are complementary, and collectively cover all aspects of embedded system design.


CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

Time-to-market has become a crucial objective to embedded system designers in the context of enabling technologies such as compilation, novel architectures, synthesis, reconfigurable hardware and others. In these contexts, much of the successful research so far has been performed in increasingly specialized research areas localized into ``communities'' working in vertically integrated fields. This working conference, the fifth in the CASES series, will provide a common forum for researchers from the computer engineering and science disciplines with an interest in embedded systems to reach across such vertically integrated communities and to promote potential synergies.

As evident from the past CASES meetings, several of the emerging application areas are critically dependent on these interactions for their sustained growth and evolution. Application areas that embody application-specific embedded computing include set-top boxes, hand-held games, mobile and web appliances, advanced automotive systems, high-performance networking and others. For these areas to thrive, new technologies must address constraints on cost, code size, weight, power consumption and real-time response as well as performance. Concerns of time-to-market are a dominant but not exclusive theme of the conference.

Technical papers espousing significant novel ideas and technical results are solicited. Conference topics include (but are not limited to) the following topics in four tracks:

1. Compilers and Operating Systems

  • New optimizing compilers for embedded-domain constraints.
  • Light-weight languages for temporal specification.
  • Compiler controlled memory hierarchy management and smart caches.
  • System-on-a-Chip architectures/compilers and embedded software including heterogeneous multiprocessor embedded systems.
2. Architecture
  • Novel architectures and micro-architectures
  • Synergy between extant parallel computing technologies, such as notations for expressing concurrency, and instruction level parallel processing.
  • Reconfigurable or adaptive computing systems.
3. Tools and Methodologies
  • Automated design and synthesis of application- or domain-specific processors.
  • Application- or domain-specific embedded system designs
  • Research infrastructure development for embedded systems.
4. Applications
  • Emerging domains including micro-UAVs and textiles.
  • Wearable computing and/or mobile computing



INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

Please submit one electronic copy of the paper in postscript or PDF format using the CASES web interface or via email to the address shown below. There is no page limit, but the paper must not exceed 4000 words in length. All papers must be submitted using the ACM SIG Proceedings Format.

INFORMATION FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Proposals are solicited for both embedded and half day tutotials. Embedded tutorial proposals should follow the same format as a regular paper. Half day tutorial proposals should not exceed 4 pages and should describe the topics to be covered as well as the intended audience. Interested individuals are invited to submit proposals to the Tutorial Chair, mailto:shu@cse.nd.edu. The deadline is June 15, 2002.
